About 10yrs ago now, I fell on hard times and had to re-home my three cats. I was devastated, I had had them all since they were kittens. I ended up in a halfway house while I saved up money to get my own place. The house had a cat that had started looking for food. We took her in and named her Midnight. She and I instantly bonded. She seemed to know that I needed someone at that time, and soon never left my side. A couple of years later I moved into a rental house, and she came with me and a couple of women from the halfway house. She was happy to have her own place to run around and not have a bunch of people grabbing at her. She still stayed with me though, sleeping with me at night and curling up under the covers when a rare cold front hits South Florida. We have only been separated once and that only lasted a couple of months. Today she still sleeps with me, I often wake up to her trying to tug the earring out of my ear. I know that this gets said a lot in these stories, but she truly did rescue me.
